Prayer.

By Dr. Huntington

THERE is much in all prayer that passes our understanding. It is the meeting-point of the seen and unseen. It is the border-land between earth and heaven. It is the contact and communion of finite beings with the Infinite. What wonder any analysis of ours should fail to unwind all its mysteries and explain all its divine economy? It is enough that wherever religious wisdom has opened its lips to teach anything, it has taught this; enough that the great body of believing men since Christ, if we may not say since the begining, have proved it: that all revelation, calmly, as by prophetic, unanxious, assured authority, promises especial blessings to it; enough that Christ, by his example and by his lessons, enjoins it: ‑If two of you on earth shall agree as touching anything they shall ask, it shall be done for them.‑ ‑For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.‑—Dr. Huntington.
